Its a fucking toxic act.
Once someone gets past their 20 minute timer on AFK just fuckin give them the 14 day ban.
You guys ban people and chat restrict them for saying shit like GG EZ, when they can just be muted Nothing can be done about an AFK player.
Start banning people please. Theres too many people with lag and shit wifi connections
Zephyrous X5 votesthe thing about 20 min q time is that it is automatic if you are afk for over 5 minutes, and in several instances you can get bugsplats or your cpu can crash and shit like that. Spending 100 minutes waiting to play a game that isn't even fun is punishment enough for something that you don't really have control over.
YumScrumptious964 votesWhat are they supposed to do? Become technicians and fix their wifi? Some people want to play and don't plan for their wifi to cut out for unscheduled maintenance, or for an emergency that requires them to go to happen.
Jetjoe2 votesIt takes several afks to even get a 5 minute ban. Takes even more to get a 20 minute ban. This afk ban is reformed after 2-3 weeks of playing. If your wifi is that shit consistently , dont play and fuck up my games
Virgin Ray3 votesRiot bugsplatted me and I have a 5 bar wifi and my game crashed. I still got lower priority queue. All wifi routers can break down once in a while, nothing is perfect.
Jetjoe2 votesBug splat errors can be corrected with riot. Afks due to shit wifi cannot
Virgin Ray3 votesRiot didn't correct bug splat tho.
Jetjoe2 votesThe ban you got from bugsplat?
Thats strange I got mine cleared within a day
XerShade1 votesSame, heck I even got the LP from the loss back.
LordGeovanni2 votessome people dont and have to live with their demotions lost series and lp losses
LordGeovanni1 votesive never seen a 5 min ban and not sure it exists

Gaming on WiFi is gaming wrong. Hardwire yer shit or deal with inconsistencies. They need to ban AFK's and fix the problem for you if you won't.
YumScrumptious962 votesSorry that we all aren't rich. You don't decide what's "wrong" jesus christ. This may be the dumbest statement I've heard on these boards.

If you can't play with a stable system then you need to be banned for AFK or stop playing online.. Fix your shit and stop playing on WiFi, do your preventative maintenance regularly and stop playing with 945 different things going on in the background. It's your fault your system sucks and it's is not RIOT's responsibility to fix it. You do not need to be rich to have a stable system. You need to not be lazy and ignorant.
YumScrumptious963 votes"Fix your shit"? Nobody is their own damn internet service provider. You are definitely a rich kid because you seem to think that people can make their internet better despite not being an expert in that field, or controlling the company providing it. Nobody said it was Riot's responsibility, but that doesn't mean its your own either. Its up to the internet service provider to give you a good connection, you can't do it yourself.

Until you stop blaming everyone else and own up to the problems that you created you will continue to have problems. There is no reasoning at all with people like you. I would imagine that you do the opposite of taking care of what you can on your side. It is still your fault. If you live in an area where your provider is not up to par then it is still your responsibility to stay offline. Get it through your head that you don't need to be rich to have a stable system. If you DC in my games you will be reported AFK, bottom line.
YumScrumptious962 votesI didn't create my own damn internet problems. People can play games if they want, you don't control them like you want to. Seriously, there is no reasoning with me? I've presented truthful statements, you completely faltered on defending your whole fix your own internet point the moment I told you that people don't work for internet service providers always. I don't have a bad connection but I can understand if someone gets screwed over by unscheduled server maintenance and such. Its called sympathy. You obviously have none, you only care about yourself. The people who want to play games can, you can't stop them from enjoying things like you so desperately wish to. With your thinking, let's blame the victims of terror attacks for not preventing them. You can't predict terror attacks or bad wifi, but to you that doesn't matter they should fix it before or not become a victim somehow. Of course that's just an analogy but your kind of thinking is disgusting for a human being.

Not taking responsibility for one's own actions is disgusting for a human being. If someone in my game goes AFK/DC they will be reported. If someone has an unstable connection then they need to be responsible and stay off until it's fixed. These people are not GOD and they obviously can give a rats ass about the people they affect with their garbage system if they continue to que up with it. Like I said, people like you, as wrong as you are will argue till the world ends and never see common sense and logic from any perspective but your own.
YumScrumptious962 votesIts not one's own actions when their internet service provider does unscheduled maintenance, you fail to understand that people can't plan for things to happen, its called surprises. Its not their responsibility to take out fun from their life because you are gonna cry over how you lost a video game match. I'm not wrong when I say you can't expect everything, I'm not wrong when I say you can't blame someone for things out of their control, I'm not wrong when I absolutely demolished your whole point of "they need to fix their internet themselves" because people don't always have the skillset or the access to do that, then you dropped that point immediately. You wanna whine constantly and hope people get punished because you can't handle things not going your way? Go ahead, but don't do it publicly and tell everyone you're right because it makes you look: like a fool, unsympathetic, out of touch, and narcissistic.

I'm not wrong when I tell you that it takes more than 1 or 2 afk's to get punished. Take responsibility, period. I have been playing for 3 plus years and can count on one hand the amount of times my ISP gave me problems. Get over yourself and get some integrity. You have very little. I am sorry your little world inside your head is not treating you right.
I am very sorry that you don't agree with me but know this, I will report you if you are in my game and AFK/DC, 100%. There is not one damn thing you can say or do to justify repeated offenses because RIOT accounts for that. You need to wake up and understand that. I doubt you will, but I don't doubt that I'm done arguing with ignorance.
YumScrumptious962 votesDon't be sorry that I don't agree with you because I can't understand how you think you are being fair. You can count on one hand your times that ISP has given you problems, congrats, not everyone can and its not their fault. You're basically saying, you want to play games? Pay more money that you might need for other purposes so your internet is perfect. Very little integrity? I am defending the people who you want to persecute. You have no understanding of integrity, sympathy or that some people don't live as luxurious as you.

It is their fault for queing up knowing their system is horrible. Why should other people have to suffer?
YumScrumptious962 votesThey can't always know their system isn't going to work. Why should they have to suffer because you get an afk occasionally?
YumScrumptious962 votesYes, and sometimes they are gonna have a bad connection all week that they can't do anything about. Doesn't mean they should be banned like you suggest.

OMG you are the worst most non-sympathetic human being I have ever seen on these boards. You are basically saying that if you have a bad wifi connection, even if you cant afford a better one and you just want to play this game, which by the way is just a game, you should not play because it bothers you. I am not saying you shoudnt report, but still its not their fault that they cant have a perfect 10 ping like you. We are not all rich. Like do you think they want to disconnect!??!?! Obviously not. SO SHUT YOUR FACE AND BE A BETTER HUMAN YOUR BEING SO UNREASONABLE ABOUT SOMETHING THATS JUST A GAME WE ARE NOT ALL RICH LIKE YOU!

But it's ok for people with bad connections to ruin games? That's what you're saying. That just because someone can't afford a better connection or take care of the one they currently have, that it excuses them from all responsibility? How is it that I'm a bad human being but these people who knowingly ruin games with garbage aren't?
LordGeovanni2 votesI for one dont have parents that recouldnize that i am busy playing a game and must sit at this place every time i have to get up and move my ass to the other side of the house any time they have it on their whims and i dont have a wire long enough for that

So that is Riot's problem? That is the problem of the people you are playing with? Why should the people that you are playing with be punished for something out of their control and that you can fix by simply not playing? If you play and you AFK/DC in my games, you will be reported. IDGAF about your situation. You are 100% in the wrong for punishing other people by queing up.
LordGeovanni1 votesit is riots problem because they want a large as possible player base so the chance that people can fund their game. i have a small apartment with 2 wifi sources there and my game was playing well before riot 'Stream Lined' their servers Granted everyone had a period of bad connection except the people on the west coast right before they did that. The did fix their servers for about a month and then it went back to a place where a large number of people are disconnecting lagging i they could be lieing but when it also hits you, you are less inclined to think they are lieing and i dont think im lieing but i could be biased towards or against myself. All i know is that i have internet there was a time when connections was running smoothly when riot changed something and a time when i wasnt running smoothly and ive been checking my internet connection multiple times almost daily going on 4 years through speed test web sites both one over the web and one provided by my internet provider. this also hurts players as less over all players equal longer que times more radical match making and more radical patch changes as riot tries to see why they are loosing playing by change the formula

You keep blaming everyone but yourself while the rest of us enjoy good connections because we take care of our system. You can start fixing yourself by not gaming on WiFi. It's not reliable at all for gaming. Do your preventative maintenance weekly and stop running 987 thousand things in the background. When I game that is all that is running, period. If your ISP sucks or you can't afford a better speed it is still only your fault. You are the one who ques up. Nobody twisted your arm. Be responsible.
LordGeovanni2 votesthe thing is i know my internet connection is good enough to play the game beacuse some times on the same internet with the same speed on certain patches i can get up to 2 weeks of smooth game play. also how is bad internet connection if i had it a refelction on myself i dont remember providing myself internet
Amasa Delano2 votesSo, if I have a wired ethernet connection, but my power goes out while I'm playing (i.e. last week), I should be automatically permabanned?

For an incident that don't happen everyday? No. Use some common sense. AFK punishments are the result of frequent AFK's. Don't AFK and you don't get punished. It's that simple. People need to stop using rare occurrences as stupid excuses.
Now, if you frequently AFK and the power outage puts you into the category of frequent AFK's then too bad. But stupid people will use that as the reason they got punished, forgetting about all the other times they went AFK themselves. Yes, you eventually need to have your account banned permanently.
Amasa Delano2 votesSorry, I thought you were agreeing with the views in the OP.
I agree then. No matter how you're AFKing, if you do it too much, there should be consequences for it.
DoctorWolf183 votesSorry for having a fucking life dude. Sorry if something urgent comes up oh yeah real sorry.
XerShade2 votesRight, so some jerk drives a car into the power transformer outside my complex and I get banned while they fix it. No thanks jerk.
Dragfin1 votesRight, so some jerk drives a car into the power transformer outside my complex and I get banned while they fix it. No thanks jerk.
This happens everyday? Because last time I checked, you don't get in trouble for one AFK.
XerShade2 votesDepends, someone could have had a bad computer in the past, that doesn't go away. They went out to correct the issue yet something out of their control causes another AFK and BAM they are BAN.

Also pretty sure it don't happen after two AFK's either. If you are consistently AFK because of a bad system how long before you get a clue to stay the hell off online games?
XerShade3 votesSo your saying people who can't afford a two thousand dollar machine are prohibited from even trying to play games? Know what I'm leaving this topic.
Jetjoe1 votesIve been AFK 3 times in the past month, nothing happened, if it escalates past the 20 minute ban period, that person deserves atleast a 14 day suspension
Edit: My laptop is 600 bucks, played league 6-7 hours a day on it since December and havent had any issues. .
d3formity2 votesLet's be honest here, a majority of people's afk's are not their fault. Most of the kids playing this game are 12-17 year olds. Their parents ask them to do stuff right away and they have to do it or else there will be consequences.
Zero Shingetsu1 votesI agree with this, but only if the person states outright that they're going AFK.
"That's stupid," you might say. "Everyone will just not say that, then." But you'd be surprised how many people only AFK when you know without a doubt they're doing it to spite you.
fluxanna1 votesThat's not a permaban, that's just a ban.
Doesn't riot already ban for that?
